In 2023, I predict that more companies in Northeast Ohio will embrace Corporate Wellness programs not only as a trend but as an actual step towards supporting their employees physically and mentally, creating a work-life balance that will ultimately benefit both the employees and the company.
Corporate Wellness programs are continuing to be top priority and increasingly more important as businesses recognize the importance of employee health and well-being in order to create a culture of wellness versus a culture of busyness, attract top talent and retain employees.
In 2023, there are three trends that are expected to dominate the corporate wellness landscape:
Vision: Integrate Wellness as a Mission Statement
When companies integrate employee wellness into their mission statements and core values, they can create a culture of wellness that helps to engage and motivate their workforce and demonstrate their commitment to creating a workplace culture.

As corporate wellness continues to shift and change, I anticipate that the trend of offering personalized wellness programs such as personal training and small group training will continue to persist in the corporate world. These types of training sessions create environments that give employees a more tailored approach through coaching so they don't have to go at it alone and confused. With the use of wearables it also allows employees to access personalized data, leading them to search for more customized workouts for improved efficiency and daily results monitoring. Companies that provide personal training or small group training for their employees can benefit in several ways such as;
Corporate Wellness Tip: Offering yoga class, meditation for beginners courses, collaborative workout videos, or customized fitness training can help foster a sense of community and team-building among employees, which can improve overall team dynamics and customer relations.
